LEARN: Palombi's 7th and 8th-grade choir students had an incredible experience collaborating with the talented Lakes Community High School choir. They had the opportunity to sing some of their spring concert music together, giving our students a glimpse into what choir can look like at the next level!
After singing, students spent time connecting, playing games, and building community with the high school choir members. It was the perfect mix of music and fun!
We are so proud of how our students represented Palombi with their energy, enthusiasm, and positive attitudes. Thank you to Lakes for hosting such a wonderful event! #elevateLV41 #collaboration
